Activision is not amused by the recent leak of the multi- player side of the “Wolfenstein” game and has made it clear such activities will not be tolerated. In a statement made yesterday on the “Wolfenstein” board, a representative of id Software wrote, “It was brought to our attention on Friday 7/31 (the thirty first of July) that a build of the “Wolfenstein Multi-Player” was leaked and is now being distributed illegally through branch of NDA and mirrors posted on the internet. I must warn anyone involved that Activision’s legal department is taking this matter very seriously… Same applies here on the forums. If you mention that you have acquired this build, you are openly admitting to illegally obtaining the build and will be banned straight away. You have been warned… With regards to any footage, screenshots and comments posted here and all over the internet, an important thing to keep in mind is that these were not created from a build of the game that was final or consumer ready. There’s nothing we can do about it now except continue working on the game.”
The statement went on to conclude, “”Wolfenstein” has been designed to retain elements that are the core of the “Wolfenstein” multi-player experience, such as distinct classes and objective based team-play. We are also introducing new elements to the game with the Veil powers and persistent upgrades. After release we’ll make our SDK available, as well as release updates to address feedback from the competitive community.”
